Past vs. Future

My past slices my veins
Every inch of my body is scourged
Every drop of blood screams please have mercy
But my past says “you shall not receive mercy for you are wicked and the wicked shall be punished!”
Next my past drags me by my hair as I scream and kick
Taking me into a lonely desert for my demons to pick at my bruised remains
As I felt no hope I felt another presence.
Then I saw my future,I saw hope
next thing i know my future overcame my past
As my future picks me up on my feet I see my past running away cowardly
after that I look at my Future
Then my future looks into my inconsolable eyes and says that you are loved and forgiven
